This project located in the Pyrénées Atlantiques Region in France has a budget in excess of EUR 80 million.
In a recent press release by ENERTIME, the Consortium led by FONROCHE GEOTHERMIE, in which ENERTIME is one of the partners, has been selected by the French Energy Agencies (ADEME and CGI) to receive funding for the deep, high temperature geothermal energy project called FONGEOSEC.
ENERTIME will provide the ‘electricity and heat production technology’ for the 5.5 MW power plant using its proprietary Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology. This project, located in the Pyrénées Atlantiques Region, has a budget in excess of EUR 80 million. FONROCHE GEOTHERMIE, a major French player in this field, with 8 deep geothermal energy projects including 6 exclusive permits granted, is the initiator of FONGEOSEC. This project will be carried out by a consortium of experienced companies, each of them expert in its own domain, with the support of the local communities and of major University laboratories.
FONGEOSEC provides the French geothermal industry with the means to develop and improve technologies, to be deployed worldwide. This new success recognizes the technology and expertise of ENERTIME, pursuing its development as a major actor in France and on the international market for innovative turbomachinery and thermodynamic machine technology, helping the fight against climate change.
